Google Street View is finally here. Everyone can now go explore Denmark on their own computers.
A couple of days ago the Danish site Krak.dk launched their own version of Street View. Their pictures are better than Google’s but their complete lack of a proper user interface and there is no way you can navigate around without ending somewhere completely different. Google probably saw this as an attack to their Street View features and they quickly launched their Danish version. It’s been years since the first Google Street View car was spotted here in Denmark and the 21th of January was the day it went online. It’s reported to be working in over 100 Danish cities all over the country, great news for a lot of citizens here in Denmark but also for visitors. It should work on the iPhone Maps.app and on Android phones too.
Quickly people started exploring the pictures and places around the country. Photos started to appear around the internet especially on Twitter. Here is a couple of tweets from Danish tweeters:
- @mikkelmarius “Interesting street view: Someone being run down just in front of my office. http://bit.ly/7W8PTU #streetview #copenhagen” [tweet]
- @streetviewfunny “First Nude found in Denmark via Google Street View NSFW -http://tinyurl.com/ykntsts #streetview” [tweet]
- @streetviewfunny “First Danish Rubber Necker found via Google Street View - http://tinyurl.com/ykey6rp #streetview” [tweet]
- @streetviewfunny “Danish Couple Shopping for some Marital Aids via Google Street View - http://tinyurl.com/ylbazfz #streetview” [tweet]
Those are all pretty funny and they are now added to all the other funny Google Street View photos. It appears that the photos are taken on widely different times.
This road supports the claim, try to move just one step forward and see the seasons jump from fall to summer. See more right here: Google Street View

Google Street View also came to Sweden and a bunch of other improvements – check out the source for more information. I wonder if their new patent for ad placement will ever actually be real?
